Chapter 249: Territorial Disputes

Just as the people of Yizhou do not wait to see the people of Dongzhou, the people of Jingzhou also do not wait to see the people of Yizhou.

There are concerns about personal interests, and there are some things that cannot be compromised.

If there is chaos today, during the war, there are northland families who go south to avoid chaos, this kind of thing is unavoidable, and the families around the country will also show grace to accept these exiled families for the sake of everyone being a cultural person.

Of course, the biggest advantage is that you can hide the population and annex the land to your heart's content.

But if these exiled families want to choose local officials and compete with the locals for official positions, the local families will naturally not be able to bear it.

Liu Biao is better, because he started by relying on a local family, and he didn't dare to go too far in this regard, so although Jingzhou also has a lot of foreign families, Jingzhou's upward channel is basically controlled by local families.

But Liu Yan entered Yizhou, and the people of Yizhou did not want to see this foreign state pastor at all, and Liu Yan did not rely on the help of Dongzhou people, so he could not sit in the position of Yizhou pastor at all.

This caused the confrontation between Dongzhou and Yizhou people in Yizhou, and this matter became a historical problem, and even to some extent, promoted Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan.

In this case, the people of Jingzhou who live next door have watched it for decades, can they still not understand it?!

Therefore, Zhang Xiyi said that he wanted Li Qiu and Zhang Wei to serve as the county and Sima of Nanjun, and Ma Liang and Yi naturally could not agree.

Juncheng is the deputy of a county, if Zhang Xi has some special circumstances, such as going out to fight, or being unable to serve due to illness, the decisions of a county will all be in the hands of Juncheng.

Not to mention Sima, who is responsible for inspecting and supervising military affairs on weekdays, once there is a war, if the county guard does not personally lead the troops, then Sima is the first person to lead the troops.

With such an important official position, how could the people of Jingzhou allow outsiders to occupy it.

Besides, most of the middle and low-level officials in Nanjun are all from the Jingzhou family, can these people allow two outsiders to give orders on their heads?!

The problem in this matter is bigger than the lack of officials in Jingzhou, and it is impossible for Ma Liang and Yi to persuade him.

There is no way for these two, they themselves are from Jingzhou.

There are internal contradictions between the Jingzhou families, how to discuss and fight, most of the families are broken bones and tendons, as long as the door is closed to have a meal, maybe the contradiction will be solved.

However, it is absolutely intolerable for outsiders to come to the local area to grab interests and official positions.

If these two people let the Yizhou people take high positions but do not dissuade them, if the local family knows, the popularity of these two people within the Jingzhou family will be completely gone.

Ma Liang and Yi naturally advised Zhang Xi bitterly to withdraw his appointment.

Zhang Xi almost laughed angrily.

You Jingzhou family refused to come up with talents to fill the vacancies of officials, and came to me to complain, I just appointed two Yizhou people as officials, do you think it's okay again?!

"If so, what should I do?!" Zhang Xi seemed to be smiling, looked at Ma Liang and Yi Yuan, and asked.

Ma Liang was speechless, and Yi didn't know how to answer.

There are some things that don't need to be picked out, everyone understands them.

But Zhang Xi not only wants them to understand, but also wants them to come up with a way.

Therefore, Zhang Xi thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Ji Chang, Xi once heard that there were rumors in Jingzhou in the past, and the Ma family had five constants, all of whom were talented. Now that there are insufficient officials in Jingzhou, at this very time, I also ask Mr. to persuade the brothers and nephews in the clan to become the lord and solve this urgent need. ”

Ma Liang suddenly sat on the wax.

It is true that the Ma family has five constants, but to be honest, the Ma family is certainly optimistic about Liu Bei, and the best talents in the clan are also Liu Bei, but the Ma family did not pin all their hopes on Liu Bei.

Ma Liang and Ma Jian are Liu Bei, and the second and third children of the Ma family went to Cao Jun in Xiangyang.

In this year, the family made separate bets, and it was not only the Ma family.

But now Zhang Xi actually put this on the bright side, and asked Ma Liang to mobilize his second and third brothers, where to mobilize? ! Xiangyang?!

Ma Liang couldn't take these words, so he could only bow and retreat.

Ma Liang left, Yi Ji took a look at the situation, and found that Zhang Xi was not really angry, so he persuaded Zhang Xi and said, "Yuan Chang, why do you have to run the Ji Chang family like this, Yuan Chang is not ignorant." ”

Zhang Xi wanted to give Yi Ji, an old man who had been helping Liu Bei, a little face, sighed, and said, "Mr. Boji, Feixi is rude, but now Jingzhou, there will really be a lack of more than 30 talents in "Peng" and "history"?!" ”

Yi also sighed, this thing. The family is just this virtue, what can you do?!

Seriously, the Yi family is because there are too few capable people, otherwise the Yi family is estimated to be betting on both ends, and Liu Bei will not be alone.

"However, there must be a solution to this matter after all!" Yi Ji sighed and said to Zhang Xi, "The autumn harvest season is coming, even if we redouble our efforts, we need at least more than ten people to hold the positions of "Peng" and "History", otherwise it will really delay the business, and I hope that Yuan Yuan will think twice." ”

After saying this, Yi Zhi also gave up, leaving Zhang Xi to think alone.

Indeed, this kind of thing is really not a problem that can be solved by letting Li Qiu and Zhang Wei take office, no matter how powerful the two of them are, it is impossible for one person to use them as ten people.

Moreover, it can be seen from the attitudes of Ma Liang and Yi that the people of Jingzhou do not welcome the Yizhou people as their bosses, and even if Li Qiu and Zhang Wei are appointed, the officials under them are estimated to be disobedient and do not work well.

As Yi said, in the end, it is necessary to solve the problem of manpower shortage.

So this thing. Zhang Xi really has to find a way to recruit some talents.

But this year's recruitment, it really can't be solved by hanging a sign and holding a job fair.

First, talents are precious in these years, and if you do this, you are suspected of neglecting talents.

Second, the talents of this year are concentrated in the family, a small number of them are in the poor family, these people do not cooperate with you, even if you organize a job fair, people ignore you, you have no problem.

So, to recruit people this year, you have to find an "intermediary headhunter".

For example, Sima Hui.

In fact, the best candidate to find an "intermediary headhunter" in Jingzhou is not Sima Hui, but Pang Degong.

Pang Degong is a native of Xiangyang, and he is well-known and knowledgeable.

In the early years of lecturing in Xiangyang, almost half of the Jingzhou families went to listen to Pang Degong's lectures, and it can be said that most of the Jingzhou families have received Pang Degong's favor.

Therefore, the Jingzhou Pang family can be said to have a very transcendent status among the four major families.

But unfortunately, Pang Degong died three years ago in Xiangyang.

Xiangyang is Cao Cao's territory, and the Pang family's home is also in Xiangyang, so Pang Tong can't go back to his uncle for the funeral, just a remote sacrifice.

And Sima Hui is still alive now, and he is in Nanjun, and this person's reputation is also not low.

Therefore, Zhang Xi asked people to prepare gifts, and planned to visit Sima Hui in person, hoping that he would come forward to mobilize the Nanjun family, and then take out some children to help Jingzhou stabilize the current situation.

Although Zhang Xi is only a son of a poor family, he is a county guard, and no matter how high Sima Hui's reputation is, he has no official or position.

Therefore, Zhang Xi doesn't have to worry about Sima Hui avoiding him, Sima Hui will still give Zhang Xi this face.

But it was only to the extent of meeting each other, and Sima Hui did not agree to Zhang Xi's request.

Sima Hui knew how excessive Zhang Xi's request was in the eyes of the family, and he didn't have a special relationship with Zhang Xi, so why did he risk offending the Nanjun family and use his connections to help Zhang Xi do this?!

If you mess it up, people will complain, and if you do it well, there is no benefit.

Sima Hui is not Pang Degong, he is not a native of Jingzhou, he is just famous and connected, and he does not have kindness to the Jingzhou family, the Jingzhou family respects him, but he will not easily listen to him, he has to exchange his favors.

rashly agreed to this kind of thing, Sima Hui is the real brain.

Zhang Xi also knew that Sima Hui would not easily agree to this kind of thing, but Zhang Xi was not out of the question.

Zhang Xi first expressed his generosity to Sima Hui's refusal, and then chatted with Sima Hui, and then inadvertently revealed a news - Zhang Xi planned to build a academy in Jingxiang, hoping to invite Sima Hui to be the head of the mountain.

The name Zhang Xi has thought of, and it will be called Yuelu Academy.

This time, there is no need for Zhang Xi to name it incompetent, this is an academy that originally existed in history, but Zhang Xi advanced it by hundreds of years.

After Sima Hui listened, he said hehe. The old decay is a handful of years, and when the mountain grows or something, there is no such worldly desire.

Although he said that, in fact, Sima Hui's idea was actually very simple, and he didn't believe that Zhang Xi could do it.

It's not that Sima Hui looks down on Zhang Xi, how can Zhang Xi build a academy with the little resources he has.

Academies, academies, first of all, you have to have books, you don't even have a classic, and you dare to engage in academies?!

Don't you want Guan Yu to contribute the family study classic "Zuo Chuan" and become the treasure of the town?!

Such a academy is the most ridiculous thing in the world.

As for the question after that, Sima Hui couldn't even think about it.

You can't do the first step, and it's useless to think about the next thing.

Therefore, Sima Hui was not optimistic about Zhang Xi's so-called idea of building a academy at all, and complimented him twice, but Sima Hui didn't hear Zhang Xi's invitation and didn't respond at all.

Of course, Zhang Xi also knows what this person thinks, but if he is not sure, Zhang Xi can just find it?!

At that moment, Zhang Xi didn't care whether it was rude or not, he got up and leaned into Sima Hui's ear and muttered.

Sima Hui didn't like Zhang Xi's approach of having no sense of distance at first, but after listening to what Zhang Xi said, his face changed suddenly in an instant, and he looked at Zhang Xi with a look of surprise.

"The matter. Seriously?! ”
